CBS’ “Evening News” on Tuesday profiled Donald Berwick, president and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, who is leading a campaign to reduce medical errors in hospitals. More than 3,000 hospitals are participating in the campaign, which aims to reduce hospital-acquired infections, medication errors and other adverse events through standardized safety, communication and sterilization procedures. According to Berwick, between 44,000 and 98,000 U.S. residents die annually as a result of care they received in hospitals. He said, “You need to build a hospital like you build an airplane, so that everything works right, and that there’s a kind of automatic excellence in the system instead of … relying on human effort.” Berwick said the campaign also helps hospitals reduce costs. He added, “A lot of people ask, how can you afford to improve? And the answer is, you can’t afford not to.” The segment also includes comments from Brian Koll — director of infection control at Beth Israel Medical Center, which is participating in the campaign — and a patient at the hospital (Couric, “Evening News,” CBS, 2/6).Become one of the Thousands Who Have Now Discovered Insurance Company Secrets, even though they Never Thought They Could.
